MoneyWorks is a powerful accounting and business information software.

 

Your accounting software needs to do so much more than just bookkeeping and compliance. It needs to provide fast and timely financial and management reports while adapting to your changing workflows, operating with your other systems and growing with your business.

 

Information-rich dashboard charts let you know at a glance how your business is performing, while the easy-to-use on screen lists and enquiries give you quick access to all the information in your system. MoneyWorks allow you to complete in-depth analysis and forecasting. It is the most powerful reporting of any accounting software in its class, allowing you to get to really know your business.

​

Fast

Time is money. You don’t want your accounting software to slow you down. The configurable entry screens in MoneyWorks will increase your productivity and the networking is robust and extremely fast, allowing multiple users to undertake the same functions quickly and simultaneously.

Totally Cross-Platform

Works the same on Mac and Windows. Share data files between platforms or even have Mac and Windows computers accessing the same server.

Multi-company server

Multi-company server

​

Datacentre has all the same functionality as MoneyWorks Gold (MoneyWorks Gold is the network client), but with the convenience, scalability, and interoperability opportunities of server-based systems, including access from mobile devices. In addition Datacentre has highly optimised networking, making for extremely fast remote connections without the need for expensive thin client solutions.

  • Share accounts documents for multiple companies simultaneously.

  • Concurrent client licensing: install MoneyWorks Gold client on as many workstations as you like – only active connections are counted.

  • Server comes standard with 3 concurrent client licenses. Easily add more. Support several dozen users with ease..

  • Server is always available: this makes remote access possible over the internet.

  • Accelerated server-side reporting. Reports can be run on the server making them up to 500 times faster for remote clients connected over an internet link.

  • Regular automatic backups and archives.

  • Partition users: allow users logging into the server to see only a subset of documents.

  • Console application for server management.

  • Expanded integration options: some third party solutions require a MoneyWorks Datacentre Server.

​

Which multi-user product should I choose?

Although MoneyWorks Gold server can support a dozen or more clients, we recommend MoneyWorks Datacentre for more than 2 or 3 users. If you want to access your accounts from a distant office, or from a mobile device, you will need Datacentre. If you need any of the specific functionality offered by Datacentre Server then the choice is obvious. You can easily and cost-effectively upgrade from a MoneyWorks Gold network to the power and convenience of MoneyWorks Datacentre Server at any time.

Scripting

 

MoneyWorks Gold comes complete with a powerful built-in scripting system (mwScript), allowing you to extend functionality, automate repetitive tasks and refine how MoneyWorks interacts with the user. You can implement enhanced data checking, extend the importing capabilities for unstructured files, interrogate websites for other information, even talk to MoneyWorks files stored on remote Datacentres.

​

  • Automate repetitive tasks by adding new menu commands and/or buttons on lists and entry windows.

  • Communicate with external websites to look up supplier pricing, extract exchange rates, get latest stock market quotes, etc.

  • Add special functionality, such as customised price books, special discount rules, automatic transaction creation.

  • Provide enhanced data integrity checks and workflow management, such as custom purchase order approval.

  • Scripting editor is colour-coded for live syntax checking.

  • Scripts have access to MoneyWorks tables and functions.

  • Event driven for easy integration with user interface.

  • Access external files & web sites.

  • Access to special user tables for storing persistent data within MoneyWorks.

  • Scripts can be easily imported and exported, for quick deployment.

​


External Scripting

  • Automate data transfer using Applescript (Mac) or Visual Basic (et al) via COM (Windows)

  • Attachable Applescripts or VBS scripts for extended data validation (MoneyWorks calls your script in response to user interface events such as tabbing out of a field)

​Interoperability

Full access to your data

​

Some business systems lock your data up and make it hard to access or achieve interoperability with other systems your business relies on. “Cloud”-based systems may not give you access to your raw data at all (a real problem if the provider goes out of business).

​

MoneyWorks makes free access to your data a priority. Extensive data export and import facilities are at your disposal.

Import/Export

  • Configurable importing for transactions, names, items, accounts, jobs, timesheets etc (as appropriate for product; in Cashbook this is via Copy/Paste)

  • Export from all main database lists (Copy/Paste in Cashbook)​

Integration
